Yep. Exactly; I open a VPN link, and then launch Remote desktop. Thanks for the ping check idea. --I've actually been having better luck, w/ the conn, here in Hawaii than close to the source in Seattle.

Also of concern is the Desktop sizing. My work computer is set at a big resolution of 2560x1600, whereas my laptop is a more moderate 1920x1200... The problem is the VPN ...remote desktop comes in at only 1600x1200. (higher settings not available.) :-\
